CHAPTER 1504 WHAT IF I DO NOT AGREE
The Note of Distress and Indignation by Wang Xizhi should worth around 100 million, and each artefact the royal family offered to exchange with them should also be around the same price. Combining the value of all the artefacts, they altogether worth only around 1,000 million.
But the 51 % shares of Cross Group was now worth around 500 billion! That was about 500 times more than the current worth of these artefacts!
Not to mention if the Japanese royal family were to take up 51 % of their shares, then the ownership of Cross Group would be shifted to the Imperial House of Japan. In other words, all of the company's products, including the liver cancer vaccine and other special medications for liver cancer, would belong to the royal family and they would have the rights to call the shots in the future!
With this, all of their nation's groundbreaking medical research and the earnings generated from manufacturing the vaccine would all go to the Japanese. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Nathan's lips curled into a disdainful smile. "Using 1000 million in exchange for a 500 billion share. That's a nice play of cards from your side."
"But what if I don't agree?"
Emperor Chongmei smiled wordlessly.
Master Watanabe uttered instead, "Sir, if you don't wish to settle this peacefully with His Royal Highness, then I shall not save you the courtesy and will challenge you right now instead. I'm here to seek revenge for my apprentice!"
Upon hearing his declaration, the Japanese in the room all buzzed with excitement as they eyed Nathan mockingly.
He is going against Master Watanabe, the God of Kendo! Any insolent fool who dare to insult a Japanese shall pay heavily for his actions!
Many others began to cheer on for him.
Colin and Frida frowned at the cheering crowd, while Penny's face had turned as pale as a sheet. She knew that Japanese warriors were highly trained in martial combats, and this Watanabe must be horrifically strong in that for him to be known as the Sword God. The poor woman was very afraid that Nathan's life would be at risk if he fought against him.
However, Nathan looked as calm as ever, and a hint of disdain flashed across his sharp eyes.
He bet that these Japanese idiots had no idea that he was the one who had defeated the previous Sword God of Japan for them to cheer on this arrogant new Sword God now.
Seeing that Master Watanabe had come out to challenge Nathan, Emperor Chongmei immediately stood out in pretense to calm the warrior.
"Please don't be agitated, Master Watanabe. Let me talk with him further." Emperor Chongmei said while holding the warrior back.
He then turned to Nathan and threatened, "Nathan Cross, if you refuse to take up my offer, I guarantee that you can't leave this place in one piece. Master Watanabe would not let you get past him."
"I believe your nation has this famous phrase: a wise man adapts to his circumstances, and this applies perfectly to your current situation. I advise you to take these artefacts with you and present the 51 % shares of Cross Group to the Imperial House to prevent bloodshed in this room due to your stubbornness."
Nathan eyed the artefacts displayed in the room and smiled. "I would like to take these artefacts with me, but I refuse to give in to your conditions, less to say give my shares to you. What should we do about this?"
Finally losing his patience, Emperor Chongmei's face turned as black as coal and he uttered icily, "Then I have no choice but to let Master Watanabe kill you first!"
Nathan turned to Watanabe, who now exuded a murderous aura, and smiled
suddenly. "I have an idea."
Emperor Chongmei thought that Nathan had relented and so he smiled coldly. "What idea?"
Nathan replied, "You want my shares, I want the artefacts, and Master Watanabe wants to kill me for revenge. Since all of us have our own motives, why not we do this;
I shall spar with the Sword God, one-to-one. If I win the match, I will take away the artefacts. If I lose, you can do anything to me; be it killing me, or taking my shares. How's that?"
Emperor Chongmei, the royal guests and Master Watanabe himself were all shocked by his suggestion.
However, Watanabe quickly smiled and replied, "Your Royal Highness, I like his suggestion. Let me spar with him then. If he loses, his life and also Cross Group's shares shall be ours!"
Emperor Chongmei finally regained himself.
He didn't expect Nathan to come out with such a reckless suggestion. Does he not know who is he sparring with?
He turned to Nathan with a cunning smile. "Fine, we'll take up on your suggestion. You shall spar with Master Watanabe and solve this problem once and for all!"
